Ok so I'm having a bit of difficulty here that for the life of me I can't figure out.

I've gotten books from Amazon and put them through Calibre for longer then I can even remember and never had any problems before as far as I can actually remember.

But two days ago I bought Coffee Please by F.B. Hayduk, and for some odd reason it won't convert past 47%.

I bought several other books at the same time and each of them converted just fine, but with Coffee Please, I had it going overnight, till it reached over 600 minutes, and it was still stuck at 47%.

Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong? Do you know how I can get this to work? Is this a specific problem that there's a fix for?

You might try running through the converter without having Calibre itself open. There's a command line functionality that works a lot quicker and has only ever failed me when I forget to strip the DRM. I just copy the book to the Calibre folder, run the command line version, and except for huge anthologies I usually have the conversion in under a minute.

If you aren't familiar with working with command lines, drop me a PM and I'll help you work through the particulars. Or you can find plenty of info on the web on how to run command lines. The particular command in this case is called "ebook-convert.exe"
